At the Curriculum Committee meeting held on May 8, the proposed course descriptions for World History I and II were passed. They will go into effect in the Spring of 2013. I would like to commend all faculty who participated in the year-long discussion that produced these descriptions. Please bear in mind that the old course descriptions will remain in effect until the Spring 2013 semester.
Here are the new descriptions:
World History I
An
examination of the major themes and their legacies in world history
from its origins until the era of global interaction. Attention will be
focused on a comparative analysis of various world societies.
Fulfills open, liberal arts, social science, and with HIS132, history
sequence electives.
World History II
An
examination of the major themes and their legacies in world history
since the era of global interaction. Attention will be focused on a
comparative analysis of various world societies. Fulfills open, liberal
arts, social science, and with HIS131, history sequence electives. I hope everyone has a restful summer. I will blog again as we get closer to the fall semester.
